I also think the other part that’s different is with hunting your not touching the animal and taking its life with your hands. Your at least 15 yards away so your not observing the death process up close and personal.i made a thread earlier about what to do after butchering my cornish x. see link below
https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/about-to-butcher-cornish-x-need-help.1475243/
this was my very first time butchering a chicken, i have cleaned and processed fish and clams before and never felt bad, but this time i feel so terrible.
i am pro gun, pro hunting, but damn, this hits me hard. i am a fully grown man and aint some social justice warrior or special snowflake.
anyone else on here felt the same after killing their chicken??
here is a pic. it weighs a little over 8 lbs in the bag. he is 12 weeks old.
it must have weighed about 10 lbs before removing the skin, organ, feathers and other body parts.
